Disease-associated GPR56 Mutations Cause Bilateral Frontoparietal Polymicrogyria via Multiple Mechanisms

Abstract excerpt

Loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding G protein-coupled receptor 56 (GPR56) lead to bilateral frontoparietal polymicrogyria (BFPP), an autosomal recessive disorder affecting brain development. The GPR56 receptor is a member of the adhesion-GPCR family characterized by the chimeric composition of a long ectodomain (ECD), a GPCR proteolysis site (GPS), and a seven-pass transmembrane (7TM) moiety....
